I don't, but I'll tell you it looks horrible. (I've got 20s)

It doesn't look TERRIBLE....but it would look a lot better lowered.

Foose Nitrous Staggered 20"s.

Amen.... No kidding, my wife's Odyssey minivan had smaller wheel gaps before I had mine lowered. Bad enough stock, But 20s draw more attention, shinier they are probably even more so.

It's nicer lowered, but the draw back, if you keep the stock shocks & struts is one heck of a hard & bumpy ride ........... believe me, I'm riding one !

Has anyone tried moving up to a 245/45-20 front and 275/40-20 rear on stock suspension? That is 1.2" larger diameter over the stock 18" but would fill in the gap nicely provided there isn't a clearance issue on the front when turning.

Those sizes are almost 29" tall ... about 28.6-28.7" if I remember right ..... it's what Chargers run

That's exactly what I'm running. 20x8.5 and 20x10 with 245-45 and 275-40 BFGs on stock springs and struts:









I don't think it looks "horrible" and it works real good in day to day driving.

How much room do you have between the tires and the wheel wells?

enough to still allow turning without rubbing. But the gap is less than stock.

That depends on what you have wrapped around them.
